It was certainly an interesting session, and if you know me, I certainly wouldn’t waste my time if it was “hype”…

More interestingly, I got a chance to meet up with a number of skilled PHP, Ruby-On-Rails and CakePHP programmers and a number of them are pretty skilled developers. Already a number of Singapore-developed applications are making their mark on the social networks, and it’ll be interesting to see what comes up next.

Here’re the presentation slides from the session.

Here’s the video from the session:

Even better, Facebook applications and their developers are banking big, to the tune of a couple of hundred thousand dollars, and possibly even a million dollars in a week.

Enter the latest entrant, Facebook application $uper Rewards, spearheaded by Jason “Chickenhole” Bailey.

While Jason is one of the owners of CPA network Millnic Media, he has mentioned that $uper Rewards is independent of Millnic Media and will work other networks and merchants to expand it’s business opportunity.

What is $uper Rewards?

$uper Rewards functions as a “Facebook Application monetization widget” that Facebook Application developers can insert in their applications.

It’s based on a PHP architecture and provides access to more than 300 offers from about 12 different affiliate/CPA networks.

The $uper Rewards platform includes features like geo-targeting functions to provide geographically appropriate offers to the application users.

As Jason describes the service: “$R is a tool for any points/rewards based application which allows developers to easily manage incentivzable offers from dozens of CPA networks. This is a DEAD SIMPLE cut and paste solution that does 95% of the work associated with monetizing such an app for you.”

Among the key features of $uper Rewards:

• Incentivizable Offers to cover EVERY COUNTRY on the planet
• Over 30 Canada Specific offers
• Over 25 UK specific offers

Some of the other features, include:

• Geo Targeting management
• Managing all of the creative
• Maximizing revenue from each user, including customer support

Some of the Facebook Applications already incorporating $R include:

• Hockey Pool Pro
• Scratch and Win
• Plane Crazy
• SexyPoke!

Some feedback from an early adopter: “$uperRewards rocks. We tried the main CPA networks – offerpal, cpalead etc etc. Right now $uperRewards is generating exactly 20 times the revenue per daily active user of the next best network we used.”

Compared to other comparable services, $R offers the highest payouts:

myOfferPal 60/40
CPA Storm 50/50
CPA Lead 75/25
$R: 90% to publisher

I’m currently helping Jason with the business development and application developer side of the business.

If you’d like to find out more about $R and incorporate it into your application, you can join the $uperRewards application group via this tracking link. (be sure to drop me a Facebook PM though.)

Register via the link above and you’ll get access to the $R information/optimization/resource page which once it’s up.

To better explain $uperRewards, here are two videos from Jason’s recent presentation at the Vancouver Facebook Developers Garage.
